Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about dashcams in South Africa.

Is dashcam footage legally admissible in South Africa?

Yes. Dashcam footage is widely accepted as evidence in insurance disputes, civil claims, and criminal proceedings in South Africa, provided the footage is authentic and unedited.

Does having a dashcam reduce my car insurance premium?

Some South African insurers offer discounts or favourable terms for vehicles fitted with dashcams, as the footage reduces the risk of fraudulent or disputed claims. Ask your insurer about any available benefits. Apply for car insurance here.

Does the dashcam record when the car is parked?

Many dashcam models — including those offered by Cartrack — feature a parking mode that continues to monitor and record when your vehicle is stationary, providing evidence of hit-and-run incidents or vandalism.

How is the dashcam installed?

Cartrack dashcams are professionally installed by trained technicians. Installation is typically completed within a few hours and is designed to be discreet and non-intrusive.

How long is footage stored?

Storage depends on the model and memory card size. Most dashcams loop-record, overwriting the oldest footage when the card is full. Cloud storage options are available with select Cartrack products for permanent incident footage retention.
